The Federal Government's anti-Semitism commissioner, Felix Klein, has appealed to the Islamic religious communities to combat hatred of Jews among their own members.
"Mosque communities are called upon to take action against anti-Semitism in their own ranks," said Klein of the Düsseldorf "Rheinische Post".
There are already very good approaches for this and also in the interreligious dialogue.
The problem of everyday anti-Semitism is also evident in German schools, Klein said: "It is alarming that the exclamation 'You Jude' as a swear word has found widespread use in German schoolyards - also and especially in Muslim milieus." Teachers should In this context, seek dialogue with families and the religious environment.
Because nobody is born an anti-Semite.
Klein also called on the federal states to set up public prosecutor's offices across the board to prosecute hatred of Jews on the Internet.
"We know from pilot projects that the milieu that spreads something like this recedes when there is counter pressure, when the police and the public prosecutor react," said Klein.
In addition, the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution should receive new sections in order to be able to better monitor compliance with the law against hate and agitation on the Internet.

At the same time, Klein spoke out in favor of treating the issue of anti-Semitism more intensively in the training of lawyers.
"We have to ensure that prospective judges and public prosecutors are made aware of the manifestations of anti-Semitism and the failure of the judiciary under National Socialism," he emphasized.
